Americans, he said, were "beating all records for cruelty and cynicism. Can we forget even for a minute that the Pentagon's air pirates, murderers and arsonists carry out criminal raids daily on the towns and villages of a fraternal socialist country?

Even Biddle titled his own fresco for the Justice Building The Sweatshop and Tenement of Yesterday Can Be the Life Planned with Justice of Tomorrow...

Brezhnev also swapped his title of First Secretary of the Communist Party for the old Stalinist title of General Secretary, and the Presidium, or eleven-member steering committee, was renamed the Politburo-another Stalinist label. But party speakers emphasized that the names derived from Lenin's time, not from Stalin's, and would only strengthen collective leadership...
